A teenager accused of stabbing a cab driver in the neck and robbing him of $86 early Monday told detectives in a later interview he was "disappointed" the cabbie survived the attack, according to a newly-released arrest report.

Ryan Yount, 18, of 4376 Cannonwood Court, was arrested at the Byrnwood Mobile Home Park around 2 a.m. Monday. Rutherford County Sheriff's Office K9 units tracked his scent from a City Cab Co. cab on Northfield Boulevard, where 24-year-old Nicholas Jackson Kennedy had been stabbed earlier, according to police.
